Live 1979 OPC box break plus a couple packs each of 1977 and 1978 opc!!!

yankeeno7 · June 11, 2007 9:58AM

I ordered a box of 1979 OPC Baseball, 3 packs of 1977 OPC Baseball and 2 packs of 1978 OPC Baseball. I know BBCE usually is quite prompt with shipping so I will HOPEFULLY have the product by the end of the week. When I receive the product, I'll do a live rip! I cant wait!

Steve, PLEASE send me the box with a psa 10 Ozzie rookie!!!

My hands are already itching to rip them open!!!

Any suggestions on what order I should do this rip?

I am nearly done my 78 OPC set...I dont expect to even get any I need but it would be nice! The 77s will be the beginning of the start of a set for me. And I have about 80 cards from 1979...hopefully this will put me together a good portion of a set! And BTW, Im still working on 1980 and have about 100 cards to go if anyone out there still has any to sell or trade!

Good luck with the rip, I'm sure there is a 10 in that case somewhere, but I couldn't find it.

mkg809 · June 11, 2007 10:31AM

I got zero Ozzies in my box, so I hope you get mine too.

Good luck Barry, your OK outside of the sports talk forum...

grote15 · June 11, 2007 10:51AM

Barry,

I have some pack fresh 1980 OPC cards I'll ship to you free of charge. (I opened a few packs several weeks ago.) PM me if you're interested.

PasadenaMudSlide · June 11, 2007 10:52AM

I busted two rack and four vending and pulled . . .

Three Ozzies.

One looked like a dog gnawed on the corner.

The other two were terribly centered.

Good luck!

Estil · June 11, 2007 10:53AM

I wonder if I should do OPC sets someday? I mean, they do have brighter colors than the Topps sets; too bad they have those "hairy edges" though and cost more

RipublicaninMass · June 11, 2007 10:56AM

Good luck!

I suggest you open them in the order they are arranged in the box. Who can question Steve's methods?!

I hope you still think so after the Yanks overtake the Bosox!

yankeeno7 · June 11, 2007 11:25AM

And thanks for the well wishes, guys. I wish we could all pull big stuff on wax rips! This will be fun...it's been a long time since I have ripped anything like this.

stevek · June 11, 2007 11:44AM

Look forward to it. Good luck!

Clemaz · June 11, 2007 11:55AM

Rip half the box, than the packs and finish off with the rest of the box.

yankeeno7 · June 15, 2007 3:33AM

BBCE is in Illinois and I am in NY. Package shipped via UPS on Tuesday. Im fully expecting it to arrive today...or so I hope. I am patiently (impatiently) waiting for the UPS truck to pull into my driveway! Cmon UPS!!!! Get here already!!!!

julen23 · June 15, 2007 3:40AM

sorry hombre, i told steve to send them to me first.

i am currently only half way through re-sealing your cardboard.

I didn't order anything this week so UPS has to bring your box so you can fill my Friday afternoon OPC rip void. Get the scanner warmed up we all want to see that Ozzie 10.

Scanner is BURNING ready to go!

I think I either got the last box or near to the last box from BBCE bcuz they are no longer listed. 70s/early 80s OPC is on fire!

HeritageAddict · June 15, 2007 4:03AM

Steve said he was about out when I ordered my last two boxes, he told me he had sold a bunch since I started doing the live rips on here.

yankeeno7 · June 15, 2007 4:06AM

I have been looking at those boxes since he put them up. Your live rips did get me wanting a box even more. Then watching ebay prices I thought I better grab one now because 180 was an excellent price. Glad I got one...whew!!!

Estil · June 15, 2007 4:41AM

Wow, OPC sure has become quite popular around here lately, hasn't it? Good luck finding that Ozzie rookie, though from the way the cards typically come out from the last OPC box break I've seen (the infamous hairy edges), you're going to have to really beat the odds to get a 10. But like our local lottery slogan says, somebody's gonna win, might as well be you!

HeritageAddict · June 15, 2007 4:49AM

Even if you don't hit it big, it's still a blast to rip a 28 year old box of wax.

yankeeno7 · June 15, 2007 5:14AM

Alrighty! Package arrived safe and sound! Please be patient...this scanning, saving to photobucket, and posting is a painful process! LOL

Here we go! Yeeeeeee haaawwwwww!!!!

Estil · June 15, 2007 5:18AM

<< Even if you don't hit it big, it's still a blast to rip a 28 year old box of wax. >>

Hey, I consider it a blast just to look through a 28 year old set!

But still, I'm sure yankeeno7 will have a LOT of fun opening his packs! Don't forget he's also got a few 1978 and 1977 packs to open too! Hope he at least gets some HOFers in those.

yankeeno7 · June 15, 2007 5:21AM

Pack one...normal centering issues...everything you expect from OPC....PLUS First pack BIG HIT!

Gum card was Craig Swan

tkd7 · June 15, 2007 5:24AM

winner winner chicken dinner!

Estil · June 15, 2007 5:25AM

Other than the centering, very sweet Ozzie! Sideburns and all!

yankeeno7 · June 15, 2007 5:28AM

<< winner winner chicken dinner! >>

Can't say I ever heard that one

yankeeno7 · June 15, 2007 5:30AM

Pack 2
Looks like a couple of cards might be coming around on the centering...hopefully its a good sign....nothing special in this pack.
Gum card was Bake McBride

Estil · June 15, 2007 5:34AM

Say, is the 1979 OPC box still 540 cards (15 card packs x 36 packs)? If so, it's actually possible to get a whole set (374) out of your one box. Let us know if you do manage to make a set (or how close you get to it); good luck!

yankeeno7 · June 15, 2007 5:37AM

pack 3
Again, nothing special but centering on a couple seem to be improving...
Gum card was Rick Burleson

yankeeno7 · June 15, 2007 5:38AM

It's 10 cards per pack and usually coallation is pretty rough...so I will be happy if I get 60-70% of the set.

HeritageAddict · June 15, 2007 5:43AM

One of those boxes I ripped had two Ozzie cards so maybe there is still a nicely centered one in there somewhere, I'm sure I'll be able to help you finish out your set when you're ready. Estil, I ripped four boxes and was still 14 cards short of a set.

yankeeno7 · June 15, 2007 5:45AM

Nice Schmidt other than the centering
Gum card was Mickey Stanley

Pack 9
gum card Pat Zachry

yankeeno7 · June 15, 2007 6:10AM

Ok 1/4 way through the box. One Ozzie, no Ryan, Rose, Brett...I think I'll break it up and do a pack of 1978

yankeeno7 · June 15, 2007 6:11AM

<< Can my wife have your Yaz (she's a HUGE Red Sox fan; Yaz especially)? For our upcoming two year anniversary?

I have a couple of wantlists Estil...not sure what is on them...but if I have an extra I'll send it your way.

Estil · June 15, 2007 6:15AM

Thanks!

yankeeno7 · June 15, 2007 6:18AM

First 78 pack..there was also a Jorge Orta. It was nice that I got the JR Richard because it was the only common I still needed for my set!

yankeeno7 · June 15, 2007 6:22AM

Ok...back to 79...pack 10
gum card was a checklist
